 My current monitor

I have that one and love it. I wouldn't buy a monitor from Bestbuy because they usually aren't the best buy lol.

Like Dragon said though, you want a lower ms time, the lower the better. The one I showed you is a 2ms one. Also, a high resolution is better. I don't think I would like to go much past 1680x1050 though myself. I find it to be just right for me. That is just a personal preference though. It will make your games look better the higher the resolution while things start to get smaller, like the interface of the game. Some games allow you to resize the interface afterward, but others don't.

Your card is capable of a max resolution of 2560 x 1600 so both of the monitors we showed aren't even capable of reaching the max resolution of that card.

The only down side to the monitor I have is the base does not adjust. It will swivel horizontally but will do nothing vertically. For some this can be an issue, like if the surface you put the monitor on is much higher than where you sit. Your eye level needs to be about a foot above the surface the monitor will sit on.


Another Monitor

Here is another monitor that is almost exactly the same as what Dragon showed you for about $200 less. It is from Acer, who aren't the biggest brand, but they are still quite good. I got a laptop from them and am happy with it. In fact, this monitor has a 2ms response while the one Dragon showed you has a 3ms response. They have the same resolution capabilities and same size. The one Dragon showed had more ways to connect the monitor, but if you want it for just your computer, this will be just fine.

Hope it helps!
